Stereo Sushi is the new label from Hed Kandi, the label that has created its own market of independently licensed house and lounge tracks and marketed it to the masses (bravo!).

"Back To Love 3"
(Hed Kandi)

Another fantastic Hed Kandi compilation that features many of the tracks that built Jack's House!

An absolutly brillant selection presented in Hed Kandi's usual top-of-the-line packaging, Back to Love 3 continues the tradition of its predecessors by providing both solid vocals and deeper grooves for those who know.

This is one of the best compilations I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.  A two-disc set continually mixed by the new master of downtempo, Dimitri from Paris, this set features some of the most sexy, deep and soulful house as well as obscure remixes and under-appreciated gems from the glorious history of "club" music.

Included in this comp: Danny Tenaglia's utterly stunning remix of "Feel Up" by Grace Jones, TS Monk "Candidate for Love", the Blaze Shelter mix of Linda Clifford's anthem "Changin", "Nyce & Slo" from Lil Louis' freshman album, and "Can't Give You Up" by the fabulous Deep Sensation.

Not to be missed, this comp (a follow up to the extremely successful "Night at the Playboy Mansion compilation) also includes classics like "Peanut Butter" by the late, great Gwen Guthrie, Imagination's "So Good, So Right", and even Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' definitive version of "Don't Leave Me This Way".  Catch it!

Azuli has titled this compilation appropriately, as almost every single track is "Choice"! Includes: "One of those nights" - Billy Ocean, "This Thing Called Love" - Alexander O'Neal, "What You Need" - Soft House Company, and LOTSn LOTS more. Definitely a "must have" for any serious club junkie or Knuckle-head.

Although this came out circa 1995, it remains legendary to this day!  Featuring hard-to-find remixes of Jodeci (Freak 'n U) and Michael Watford (Love Changeover), Black Science Orchestra, Barbara Tucker, and MAW's own KenLou tracks, this is definitely a bangin 2 CD compilation.

Although the entire "Back to Mine" series has been fabulous,this particular CD, with selections by Everything But The Girl's Ben & Tracey, absolutely turned it out! Not only were the fantastic"Cascades of Colour" by Ananda Project and "Stars All Seem to Weep" by Beth Orton included, but they had the NERVE to close with the CLASSIC Donnie Hathaway - "Someday We'll All Be Free". There ... are .. no . words ..

For a unique perspective on the history of house music, be sure to pick up 'The Collection' by    legendary house vocalist Arnold Jarvis. This man was part of the very beginnings of house music, with his hit 'Take Some Time Out' setting new standards in both production quality and lyrical depth. This is the full collection of Arnold's work, including monumental masterpieces like 'Inspiration' produced by Kerri Chandler, 'Learn to Give' produced by Eric Kupper, and the stunning 'Life Goes On' produced by Masters at Work. If you pick this album up, you'll        understand true house music. Arnold's inspirational vocals and vibrant lyrics truly stand the test of time, each song its own unique entity. The album also includes three new tracks destined to become classics. Definitely a must-have.

EVERYBODY should know who the incomparable Jill Scott is, whose debut CD 'Who is Jill Scott?' garnered 3 Grammy Nominations, and whose live concert double-CD 'Jill Scott: The Experience' is one of the best live recordings released in the last ten years. Lead by sultry balladry and gritty lyrics, 'Slowly, Surely', 'A Long Walk' and 'He Loves Me' deserve a permanent spot in everybody's CD carousel. This diva blends spoken word with jazzy hooks, dynamic vocal interpretations and, most importantly, soulful sensibilities that
only come from years of life experience.

A fabulous collage of her concert series, the CD lives up to its name - it is quite "the Experience"! Having caught the show live last year at Radio City, listening to this cd serves as both a reminder of Jill's amazing talents and a documentary of one of the most amazing
concerts I've ever attended (and there have been a lot!) Also included on this double-cd set is the illegal bootleg house mix of "He Loves Me".

4 Hero's album 'Creating Patterns' also features Jill Scott's vocal stylings (along with her spoken-word soul sister Ursula Rucker and the legendary Terry Callier, among others). 4 Hero initially came on the scene with a series of productions & remixes that danced the fine line between house and drum & bass. This album is more soulful and song-driven, but doesn't lose sight of the balance between electronic & organic musical textures.
